Milwaukee’s history is surprising and

compelling. Unfortunately, the “just the

facts” approach too often strips it of its

distinctive

local flavor.

Viewing history

through the lens of

local folklore can

change the way you

look at Milwaukee,

evoking a fuller

appreciation of a truly intriguing past and

the colorful characters who inhabited it.

Milwaukee Ghosts celebrates local

folklore. Our research sources include

public records, archival newspaper

reports, and firsthand accounts. We have

collected so many stories, we can’t include

them all on every tour. We rotate tales

and frequently update our stories with

new information from ongoing

investigations. As a result, our tours are

different every time. (414) 807-7862

Milwaukee’s first ghost tour!

Third Ward Haunted History Tours

Celebrate Local

Folklore!

Milwaukee Ghosts’ mission is to

document hauntings in the Milwaukee

Metro area. As Milwaukee’s paranormal

clearinghouse, we’re here to serve our

community through data distribution and

collaboration. We strive to be the first on

the scene to collect reports from both

business and residential sources. We

compile those reports and maintain the

most comprehensive Milwaukee

hauntings database, from which we

supply data to paranormal investigators

to aid in their research.

Milwaukee Ghosts shares information

about public hauntings in articles, local

presentations, and our interactive

website map. We provide assistance to

business and residential sources

researching property history and honor

all requests for anonymity. When

clients require a scientific investigation or

a clearing of their property, we help them

find the best organization to meet their

needs.

Our Investigations

There's more to Milwaukee than brats

and beer. On our walking tours we tell

the forgotten tales of the people and

events that built this beautiful city. We

honor the struggle of all those that came

before us by

ensuring that

their stories

live on.

Join us for a

nostalgic stroll through this charming

arts district once known as the "Bloody

Third," Milwaukee’s roughest ghetto.

A Unique Experience

Haunted history tours are unlike

Halloween haunted houses. No rent-a-

ghouls have been hired to jump out and

startle you. Instead you’ll be walking in

the footsteps of the most interesting

characters from our past.

If you're captivated by local folklore,

into legend tripping, a student of

Milwaukee history, or just interested in

sparking your imagination with strange

tales about Milwaukee, this tour is for

you.

Explore the “Bloody 3”!

Our one mile, one-and-a half hour

walking tour introduces you to the

haunted history of Milwaukee's Third

Ward. You'll hear ghost stories, tales of

true crime, and surprising Fortean

folklore. A rest stop opportunity (for

drinks, snacks, and bathroom breaks) is

provided midway on the tour.

Tours run most Fridays & Saturdays

at 7 p.m. (or by special appointment)

May through November. The cost is

$10 per person (cash only). Tour content

is suitable for children, but please mention

their ages when making your reservation.

Tours depart from the corner of Water

St. and St. Paul Ave. in front of the

Milwaukee Public Market.

Reservations Required

Tours are limited to small groups to

provide patrons with the best possible

experience. Please call

(414) 807-7862 and make a

reservation to ensure your spot on

a tour.

Become a Part of It!

We love to post photos or videos taken

during our tours on our website, so don’t

forget your camera. Who knows, you may

even capture spectral evidence!

We are also interested in your stories

about unusual local events. Please

contact us if you have a story to share.
